I Know It

I know that God is taking care of me. If He weren't, I would have been aborted when my parents found out they were pregnant. If God were not taking care of me, I wouldn't have survived the terrifying, abusive childhood of an unwanted child. If God had abandoned me, I would never have lived through the problems I've had with physical and mental health my whole life. If God didn't want to take care of me, I would be even less able to cope with the poverty in which I now live.

But God has always taken care of me, and has given me many gifts. The gift of love for children, which I never felt. The gift of knowing how to give security and safety to others. The gift of understanding mental and physical disabilities in others, and helping those others to deal with them. The gifts of unselfishness and generosity, which enable me to gladly help people in more distressed circumstances than I find myself. For these gifts, and many more, I thank Him daily. He has loved me and taken care of me from the moment of my conception, and I consider myself immensely blessed.

Thank you all for your wonderful supportive comments! I have God in my life on a daily basis, He is always there. I talk to Him all the time, and more importantly, follow His guidance always. I honestly cannot understand all the people who say they don't believe there is a God: how do they get through life? Are they happy? Who is there to listen when nobody else will, to comfort when nobody else has the time, to always be available to help? Most importantly, who else is always there wanting to aid and comfort and offer support? Although I have a very strong Christian identity, I don't care what you call God. God is big enough for everyone, in whatever culture, to call him by whatever name he's called in that culture or religion. Just have faith that He is there. All you have to do is open your eyes.

My dear,<br />Your words have touched me very deeply.<br />The ex<x>pression of love for a God that we can not see is in my heart too.<br />He does take care of you and if I maybe so bold, I would even say that he has made me also take care and love you for everything that you give and are...<br /><br />Master Giley-the one who understands and loves you the most..

"The trials in our life can either make us bitter or better. Affliction can either draw us closer to the heart of God or drive us further from Him; it all depends on our view of God." -Mark A. Finley
